Didn't really think there was that many of them on here. I feel like every time I see memes like this on here it's just people preaching to the choir.

Focusing on these people was an unhealthy obsession, and most of the attempts to reach them were needlessly adversarial to the point of being toxic and hardening their resolve to not vote for Harris. Gaza was a losing issue for Harris and this attention just kept it front and center. Sad to see the obsession continue.

Anyways, this is not why Harris lost. It was a landslide and Trump won the popular vote by a huge margin. Americans don't vote in large numbers on foreign policy - not unless Americans are getting killed. Kamala lost because she kept telling struggling families that the economy is great.

Lovely inversion of responsibility there...

So what do you do when people keep screaming about Genocide Joe? Ignore them and hope they go away?

At this point, why should I care? It's not like it's entirely inaccurate, and I have no particular affection for racist Joe.

Well, enjoy your new president then

The election is over. Our new President is the Fault of Biden, Harris, and worthless Democratic consultants. Pretending otherwise isn't going to give us a second shot.

We can't nominate better voters in 4 years, so we better start thinking of nominating better candidates.
